Oxygen XML Editor 10.3
XML Author (Visual Editing) Mode
Automatic Generation of ID Attributes
ID attributes can be generated automatically for a configurable list of XML
element names for a number of frameworks (DITA, DocBook and TEI). The pattern for the
unique ID values is also configurable.
EAD Framework
An XML framework was added for editing Encoded Archival Description(EAD) XML
documents in Author mode.
DITA Support
DITA Automatic ID Generation
Oxygen generates automatically ID attributes for topics, tables, lists and
figures. The ID generation options are available from the DITA->ID Generation Options
menu.
Add Multiple Files to a DITA Map
Multiple files can be added to a DITA map with one drag-and-drop action or with
one insert reference action.
DITA-Aware Find and Replace
The find and replace operation can be applied on all the XML files referenced
from a DITA map.
Change the ANT Home Folder for a DITA Map Transformation
The ANT home folder can be changed to an ANT installation outside the
Oxygen installation.
Transformation Scenarios for Converting XHTML to DITA
An XHTML document can be converted to a DITA concept, DITA reference, DITA task
or DITA topic using predefined transformation scenarios.
DocBook Support
DocBook Automatic ID Generation
Oxygen can generate automatically ID attributes for a number of DocBook
elements. The ID generation needs to be enabled and can be configured from the DocBook->ID
Generation Options menu.
Improved Insert Graphic Action in the DocBook Framework
Depending on context, the action inserts an inline graphic or figure
element.
DocBook Scenario: DocBook HTML - Chunk
A pre-configured transformation scenario is available for DocBook 4 and 5
documents for generating HTML chunked output.
Author SDK
Author API Extensions - Listeners
Developers can register mouse listeners and cursor listeners for receiving
notifications on the currently edited XML document.
Author API Methods - Edit the DTD Internal Subset
Methods were added in the Author API for finding and changing the content of
the DTD internal subset. This is useful, for example, to add or edit a DTD entity
declaration.
Framework Level Options for Extensions
Extensions developers can store and retrieve data from an options storage that
is persisted by Oxygen and associated with the XML framework the extension belongs
to.
Single Point for Framework Extensions
All the extensions of a document type are registered in an extensions bundle
thus simplifying the configuration in the Oxygen options and providing developers with
a single point of extending the Author functionality for a specific XML
framework.
Component Dependencies
Component Dependencies View
The Component Dependencies view displays a tree of component dependencies
starting with a specified component. For example, you can quickly see where a schema type
is used and expand further to see where the components that use that type are used and so
on. Or you can see from where an XSLT template is called and, if called from other named
templates, you can expand further to see where they are called from.
Configurable Search Scope
The tree of references displayed in the Component Dependencies view is the
result of a search performed on a configurable scope. The search scope can be set to the
current project or to a set of specified locations.
XSLT Component Dependencies
The XSLT dependencies allows to find where different XSLT components are used
(named templates, functions, variables, parameters, attribute sets, character maps,
etc.)
XML Schema Component Dependencies
The XML Schema Dependencies view allows you to find where a specific XML Schema
component is used. It can search for types, elements, attributes, groups, attribute
groups, etc.
Relax NG Component Dependencies
The Relax NG schema Dependencies view allows to find where a specific Relax NG
pattern is used and to expand further to see where the referencing patterns are used at
their turn.
NVDL Component Dependencies
The NVDL script Dependencies view allow to find where a named mode is
used.
XML Schema Diagram
Configurable Component Properties
The properties that are displayed in the XML Schema diagram for each schema
component are configurable.
Visual Improvements
The XML Schema annotations are presented in callouts pointing to the component
they describe. Errors can be more easily spotted on the diagram with the help of the
in-diagram error markers.
XML Schema Documentation
Support for Multiple Image Formats
The format of the images containing schema diagrams can be selected from JPEG,
PNG and GIF.
Local Elements and Attributes Presented in the Table of Contents
The XML Schema documentation generation dialog box contains an option that
controls the inclusion of the local elements and attributes in the table of
contents.
XSLT and XQuery
XQuery Update 1.0 Support
XQuery Update operations are now possible using the Saxon SA XQuery processor
(that ships with Oxygen). XML documents can be updated with the various
insert/delete/modify/create instructions defined in the W3C candidate recommendation for
XQuery Update 1.0.
XSLT Attributes Offered on Literal Result Elements
The XSLT content completion support offers all the XSLT attributes (for
example, the xsl:use-attribute-sets attribute on literal result elements).
Subversion Client
Support for SVN 1.6
Syncro SVN Client supports SVN 1.6.2, allowing users to take advantage of the
latest SVN improvements and fixes. Previous SVN versions are also supported, the user
being able to decide whether a working copy should be updated to version 1.6 or
not.
Tree Conflicts Handling
Apache SubversionTM 1.6 recognizes a type of conflict, known as a
"tree conflict". Such conflicts manifest at the level of directory structure, rather than
file content. These conflicts include deletions of locally modified files and incoming
edits to locally deleted files. Syncro SVN Client allows to handle these conflicts
offering a dialog box that lists possible solutions for solving these conflicts.
Improvements to svn:externals
Apache SubversionTM 1.6 allows to link to external files by putting
their URLs in the svn:externals property on the parent folder. Syncro SVN Client allows
you to create, update, commit and remove external links from the user interface changing
automatically the svn:externals property as needed.
Improved Revision Graph Performance
Syncro SVN Client stores the result of a revision graph operation and re-uses
that for further operations on the same repository, thus avoiding unnecessary requests to
the SVN server for the same data. This results in a noticeable increase in
performance.
Access to Network SVN File Repositories
Network SVN repositories can be accessed using file URLs of the form
"file://server/path".
Better Handling of Symbolic Links
Syncro SVN Client detects and handles infinite recursions by analyzing the
structure created by the use of symbolic links.
General and Usability Features
Search and Replace in Opened Files
The search and replace operation can act on all opened files.
